Gao Ziyue's face turned red almost immediately, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her neck. Even after everything that had happened that night, the confessions, the birth of Djiva, and holding hands, she still could not get used to his sincerity.
It was as if he said the simplest and truest things without any effort, as if they were the most natural thing in the world.
But this time, instead of immediately looking away, she held Kyrian's violet eyes, allowing the moment to linger. A small smile appeared on her lips, a smile that was more vulnerable than she would have liked to admit.
"Thank you."
Then, after a brief hesitation, her voice became a little softer.
"I also think you're extremely handsome."
Kyrian blinked, surprised by the response. For a moment, his expression remained still as he processed her words.
"Hmm."
He tilted his head slightly, a gesture that was almost a nod.
"Thank you."
